This is interesting. I'd like to see a worldwide list, too. Does anyone have that data? I guess I could just use the VGChartz graphs, huh?

Seems Europe is the deciding factor, which is also the least accurate region.


LOL! It doesn't matter how accurate VGC is here. We have shipping reports, NPD, Famitsu, Mediacrete, GFK, chart track, and NPD Canada. So stop trying to spin this.

Yes, which all point to PS3 being on the CG game plan. Except for the Europe sales. US sales show GC trend, Japan shows it similar. Look at the graphs for those regions, I looked myself and thats why I said that. Europe is the only region where this trend is not true. Thats why I singled it out.

This seems more accurate.

Ouch. That is pretty pathetic Sony needs to do something to propel those sales.

I didn't realize this, but I'm sure the Sony bosses are aware of it. Makes you wonder how they justify these numbers to their shareholders.



Hardware is only a means to enjoy great games!

Considering the absurdly high value of the euro in 2007 along the increased sales, Europe single handedly saved the PS3.

They could at least release a celebration bundle with a 1/3L mini-bottle of champagne =D
